Back Off My Lotto Jackpot!

A congressman is tinkering with the lotto prizes and wants to peg the jackpot at P500M max. His take: kasi daw lahat tayo doon na naka-focus, mapamayaman, mahirap, makati executives, local politicians, senators and even congressmen. 

So what? Is that a crime? Pati ba naman mumunting pangarap at libangan ng mga mahihirap, although now it is a rich man’s hobby as well, eh ile-legislate pa nila?


Lotto, for most part, is an escape, a hallucinating drug, a looming opportunity, an extra-strength paracetamol for everyday pain of life all rolled into one on a P20 or P10 bet. And now a congressman is trying to be a killjoy. Come on! Don’t you ever have a better thing to do than this?

He said his purpose will benefit charity. Yun naman pala eh! Why not donate your vast land holdings and wealth to charity? Everybody happy pa! Dapat sinabihan na rin nya si Pacquiao na i-donate na lang prize money nya, anyway for a greater cause naman. So why didn’t he?

If you really are into a noble cause Mr. Congressman, why not start donating your salary, office budget and pork barrel to charity, your honor? If you can do that, I’ll be right behind, with my Grand Lotto P20 bet and my P10 bet for Lotto 6/42 & 6/45. I am sure others won’t be too far behind. For a noble cause naman eh!
